Definitions
- This invention relates to improved methods for manufacturing extremely thin, very delicate metallic structures possessing grid-like patterns of minute, closely spaced, precisely dimensioned apertures.
- Such apertured metal structures hereinafter referred to as “microsieves” are especially useful in sorting and sieving objects of only a few microns in size.
- One such microsieve designated a “cell carrier” is described in Spanish patent No. 522,207, granted June 1, 1984, and in commonly assigned, copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 550,233, filed Nov. 8, 1983, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein, for classifying biological cells by size.
- the cell carrier is prepared employing a modified photo-fabrication technique of the type used in the manufacture of transmission electron microscope grids.
- the cell carrier is on the order of only a few microns in thickness and possesses a numerically dense pattern of minute apertures. Even with the exercise of great care, the very delicate nature of the cell carrier makes it difficult to manipulate, for example, to insert it in a holder of the type shown in aforesaid U.S. patent application Ser. No. 550,233, without causing it appreciable damage, frequently in the form of a structural deflection or deformation which renders it useless for its intended use.
- FIG. 1(a) is a plan view of the cell carrier
- FIGS. 1(b) and 1(c) are perspective and side elevational views, respectively, of a typical secticn of the cell carrier
- FIGS. 2(a) through 2(e) are side elevational views of successive steps in the manufacture of a section of the cell carrier.
- the cell carrier 10 shown in FIG. 1(a) is a very thin metallic disk, for example, about 8 to 10 microns in thickness, with a square-shaped, grid-like pattern of apertures 11 with centers about 15 microns apart defined within its geometric center.
- the cell carrier can be fabricated from a variety of metals including copper, nickel, silver, gold, etc., or a metal alloy.
- the apertures actually number 100 on a side for a total of 10,000 apertures and are thus able to receive, and retain, up to 10,000 cells of the desired size with each cell occupying a single aperture.
- Keyway 12 is provided to approximately orient the cell carrier within its holder.
- a representative section of grid 11 of cell carrier 10 possesses numerous apertures or holes 20 arranged in a matrix-like pattern of rows and columns along axes X and Y respectively. This arrangement makes it possible to label and locate any one aperture in terms of its position along coordinates X and Y.
- the shape of apertures 20 enables biological cells 21 of preslected dimensions to be effectively held to the carrier by applying means, such as a pressure differential between the upper and the bottom side of the carrier, or electromagnetic forces.
- carrier 10 is chosen to have apertures of sizes so that when the matter, for example, blood, containing the various cell groups is placed on carrier 10, most, if not all, of the apertures become occupied by cells of the group of interest with each aperture containing one such cell.
- the apertures can be sized to receive, say, lymphocytes of which there are two principal sizes, namely, those of 7 microns and those of 10-15 microns, with the former being the cells of most interest and the latter being washed away from the upper surface 10t of the grid under a continuous flow of fluid.
- apertures 20 will have an upper cross-sectional diameter of about 6 microns and a lower cross-sectional diameter of about 2 microns or so. In this way, a lymphocyte from the desired population of cells can easily enter an aperture but once it has occupied the aperture, it cannot pass out through the bottom side 10b of the carrier.
- the cut-out areas 30(d) about the bottom of each aperture have no functional significance and result from the procedures whereby the cell carrier is manufactured as discussed below in connection with FIGS. 2(a) through 2(e).
- photoemulsion layer 30 has been selectively exposed to a source of actinic radiation employing a conventional mask procedure to produce a patterned surface of discrete areas of unexposed photoemulsion 30(a) surrounded by a continuous area 30(b) of exposed photoemulsion.
- mandrel 31 is removed and the fixed areas 30(a) of the photoemulsion are dissolved, or etched, away to provide carrier 10 containing the desired pattern, or grid, of apertures 20.
- a circumferential cut-away area 30(d) which possesses no role in the operation of the cell carrier is defined in the bottom of each aperture once fixed photoemulsion areas 30(a) are removed.
- the aforedescribed method for making a microsieve is subject to a number of disadvantages, foremost among them being the practical difficulty of providing a sufficient thickness, or aperture height, without simultaneously unduly reducing the numerical density of the apertures.
- the structure is mechanically very fragile and as a result, is difficult to manipulate without causing it to be distorted or damaged.
- Still another disadvantage lies in the fact that the sloping sides of apertures 20 make it easy for them to be occupied by more than one cell. Ideally, an essentially vertical slope is desired to prevent or minimize this possibility; however, such a slope cannot be obtained with the foregoing method.
- Yet a further object of the invention is to provide a microsieve in which a substantial proportion of the walls of the individual apertures are essentially perpendicular to the microsieve surface.
- an ordinarily delicate microsieve is provided with greater resistance to mechanical distortion by being integrally formed with a rigid frame or by having its thickness built up to an extent where it is significantly more capable of with-standing flex.
- microsieve Since the microsieve is formed as an integral part of a larger, frame member, it can be readily handled without significant risk of damage.
- microsieve as used herein shall be understood to include not only cell carriers and similar devices but other kinds of precision sieves, screens, grids, scales, reticules, and the like.
- FIGS. 1(a) through 1(c) and 2(a) through 2(e) are illustrative of a known type of microsieve and its method of manufacture and are fully described above.
- FIG. 3 is a side elevational, greatly enlarged view of a portion of one embodiment of microsieve in accordance with this invention.
- FIGS. 5(a) through 5(f) are side elevational views of successive steps in the manufacture of a frame-supported microsieve in accordance with the present invention.
- FIGS. 6, 7, 8(a) and 8(b) are side elevational views illustrative of still other embodiments of microsieves in accordance with this invention and the methods used in their manufacture.
- FIG. 3 is illustrative of a preferred microsieve in accordance with this invention shown generally at 10. As shown, the sides of apertures 20 are essentially vertical in contrast to the sloping sides of the apertures in the prior art microsieve of FIGS. 1(a)-(c). This arrangement helps to lessen the opportunity for more than one cell to occupy more than one aperture and also minimizes distortion of the light path which can result from apertures with comparatively gentle sloping walls.
- Microsieve 10 of FIG. 3 is made by a modification of the known method illustrated in FIGS. 2(a)-(e). Specifically, instead of laying down a thickness of photoresist 30 of only about 1 micron as in FIG. 2(a), the thickness of the photoresist layer is made to be about 7 microns or so. Thus, when the fixed areas of photoresist are eventually removed to provide the sieve, undercut areas 30(d) will actually have the straight-bore configuration shown in FIG. 3. In use, the undercut areas 30(d) of microsieve 10 face upwardly, i.e., toward upper face 40. At upper face 40, the diameter of apertures 20 is about 6 microns and in the constricted area 60, the diameter is about 2 microns; the diameter of the opening at under surface 50 of microsieve 10 is of no significance to the functioning of the device.
- Microsieve 10 of FIGS. 5(a)-(f) illustrates still another embodiment of the present invention.
- surface 13a of rigid frame member 13 which is fabricated from an electrically conductive material such as copper, nickel, gold, silver, etc., is placed against a suitable nonadherent surface 11, e.g., one which is substantially optically flat, either directly thereon or indirectly upon a thin foil 12 which serves as a shim to separate surface 13a a short distance, e.g., 5 to 20 microns or so, from surface 11.
- Frame member 13 possesses a relatively large aperture 14, preferably circular in configuration and defined within the geometric center of surface 13a of the frame, filled with a hardenable electrically conductive material 15, e.g., Wood's alloy which solidifies below its melting point of about 65° C., to form a smooth surface 17.
- Electrical contact 16 is inserted before, during or after hardening of electrically conductive material 15. Once electrically conductive material 15 has become hardened, i.e., by being cooled to below its solidification point, it will possess a smooth surface 17 of electrically conductive material corresponding to the configuration of the large aperture 14 and surrounded by surface 13a of frame member 13.
- surface 11 The sole function of surface 11 is to provide corresponding surface 17 of the electrically conductive material, when hardened, with a smooth, striation-free surface and that of optional foil 12 to extend surface 17 some short distance beyond surface 13a of frame 13. After electrically conductive material 15 has hardened, surface 13a of frame 13 is removed from contact with surface 11 and inverted to the face-up position as shown in FIG. 5(b).
- the height (or thickness) of photoresist 18 will be on the order of about 1 or 2 microns, the precise thickness being dependent in large measure upon the rheological properties of the particular photoresist selected.
- FIG. 5(c) conventional masking/exposure techniques (as described above in connection with FIGS. 2(a)-(e) which are illustrative of the prior art) provide a grid-like pattern of unexposed areas of photoresist 18(a) surrounded by a continuous area of exposed photoresist 18(b). Following conventional developing, fixing and clearing operations, there is provided the fixed areas of photoresist 18(a) supported on Wood's metal 15 as shown in FIG. 5d.
- This electrodeposited metal 19 completely surrounds areas of fixed photoresist.
- electrically conductive material 15 is removed from frame member 13, usually with only a simple breaking-away action, and the fixed areas of photoresist are removed by dissolution or etching with an appropriate solvent to provide the finished, completely self-supporting microsieve spanning what had originally been large aperture 14 of frame member 13.
- copper frame member 13' of microsieve 10' initially does not possess an aperture.
- an etchant resistant, electrically non-conductive coating 20 is applied to the underside of frame member 13' except for an exposed, bare copper metal area 21 directly beneath the microsieve portion to be formed from electroplated nickel 19' layer.
- An etchant which selectively removes copper metal but which does not affect nickel is then used to remove central copper core 22 and fixed areas 18'b of photoresist are removed to provide a finished microsieve 10' similar to that shown in FIG. 5(f).
- central aperture 14 of frame member 13' is filled with a readily meltable or solvent-soluble electrically non-conductive material 30, e.g., a paraffin wax, in place of electrically conductive material 15 of FIG. 5(a).
- a readily meltable or solvent-soluble electrically non-conductive material 30 e.g., a paraffin wax
- an electrically conductive metal 31 e.g., gold, silver, etc.
- FIGS. 8(a) and (b) Another approach to imparting increased rigidity to a microsieve is illustrated in FIGS. 8(a) and (b).
- the object is to build up the thickness of the microsieve body to the point where it becomes appreciably more resistant to flex, yet without sacrificing the numerical density of apertures.
- copper (or other electrically conductive metal) mandrel 40 possesses successive layers 41 to 53 of electroplated metal, e.g., nickel, surrounding fixed photoresist areas 53b which are in concentric alignment with the previously deposited areas of photoresist therebeneath.
- electroplated metal e.g., nickel
- This method of manufacturing a microsieve requires that each layer of electroplated metal be no higher, or thicker, than the adjacent areas of fixed photoresist.
- each of layers 41 to 53 can be separated by a layer 54 of vapor deposited metal of only a few angstroms thickness.
- the foregoing method makes it possible to vary the cross-sectional geometry of the aperture from one layer to the next and/or to stagger successive layers to obtain an aperture with a non-vertical bore.
